Abstract:
The invention relates to a dosing dispenser (1) for multicomponent mixtures in which the components are accommodated in cartridges (14). A pump (18) is assigned to each cartridge (14). Said pump dips with the pump base thereof into an indentation (108) of the cartridge (14) thus minimizing the axial length of the dosing dispenser (1).
Abstract:
A two stage reciprocating compressor and associated HVAC systems and methods are disclosed. The reciprocating compressor includes a crankshaft having an eccentric crankpin, a reversible motor for rotating the crankshaft in a forward and a reverse direction, and an eccentric, two position cam rotatably mounted over the crankpin. The crankshaft and cam combine to cause the piston to have a first stroke when the motor operates in the forward direction and a second stroke when the motor operates in the reverse direction. The cam and crankpin also include stabilization means to restrict the relative rotation of the cam about the crankpin. A lubrication system is provided to lubricate the engaging surfaces of the crankshaft and cam and between the cam and the bearing surface of the connecting rod. There is also provided a control for selectively operating the motor either in the forward direction at a first power load or in the reverse direction at a reduced second power load. A protector for the motor is also provided. In addition, the application of the reciprocating compressor to both air conditioning and heat pump systems is disclosed.
Abstract:
A batching method essentially comprising the steps of compressing a pasty material in a metering chamber (4) then discharging it towards a nozzle (10) after opening an assembly (8). The volume batching of the amount to be dispensed is carried out by measuring the movement of a piston (3) during the discharge stroke. The method includes creating a partial vacuum in the metering chamber to facilitate feeding the material into the chamber and discharging it at first at high speed then at a lower speed. A machine for carrying out the batching method is also disclosed. The method and machine are useful for force-feeding web-footed birds.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser with a fluid pump for dispensing fluid on movement of an actuator, and an air pump for delivering a stream of air through at least one sound generator on movement of the actuator. The sound generator produces at least two sounds as the actuator is moved from a first position to a second position, with each sound produced in a different time period during a cycle of operation, or differing from the other sound in respect of one or more detectable sound characteristics, such as duration, frequency, temporal alignment, amplitude, and/or timbre. The time period of each sound is a function of the relative location of the actuator between the first and second positions.
Abstract:
A method for operating a linear compressor includes measuring a current induced in a motor of the linear compressor and calculating an observed current of the motor of the linear compressor using at least an electrical dynamic model for the linear compressor and a robust integral of the sign of the error feedback. The method also includes detecting a head crash within the linear compressor if an error between the observed current of the motor of the linear compressor and the measured current induced in the motor of the linear compressor is greater than a crash threshold.
Abstract:
A diaphragm pump may comprise a housing defining a first pumping chamber, a second pumping chamber, and a hydraulic fluid chamber, a first flexible diaphragm separating the first pumping chamber from the hydraulic fluid chamber, a second flexible diaphragm separating the second pumping chamber from the hydraulic fluid chamber, a rod mechanically linking the first flexible diaphragm and the second flexible diaphragm such that an expansion of one of the first and second flexible diaphragms exerts a contraction force on the other of the first and second flexible diaphragms, and a piston disposed within the hydraulic fluid chamber and configured to reciprocate to cause a hydraulic fluid contained within the hydraulic fluid chamber to alternately exert an expansion force on the first and second flexible diaphragms.

Abstract:
A linear compressor is provided. The linear compressor includes an electro-magnetic spring and a casing that defines a chamber. A piston is received within the chamber of the casing. The electro-magnetic spring can apply a non-linear force to the piston such that a total spring force applied to the piston during a compression stroke is substantially linear.
Abstract:
A coolant compressor has a hermetically sealed compressor housing, in the interior of which lies a piston cylinder unit that compresses a coolant. The cylinder housing of the piston cylinder unit is closed at the front end thereof by a cylinder head. A linear drive is provided, comprising at least one oscillating body which is surrounded by an excitation winding and which is connected to the piston to move same along a longitudinal axis in an oscillating manner. The piston cylinder unit has at least one first permanent magnet that lies on the piston, and at least one second permanent magnet that lies on the cylinder housing. Both magnets face each other and are oriented in the same magnetic pole direction in order to generate a repelling effect between both magnets to limit the path of the piston in the region of the top or bottom dead center.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for controlling an operation of a reciprocating compressor are disclosed in which a point of inflection with respect to an operation frequency of the reciprocating compressor is detected at a point of time when a phase difference between current and stroke is uniformly maintained, and an operation of the reciprocating compressor is controlled upon recognizing the detected point of inflection with respect to the operation frequency as a point TDC=O. The apparatus for controlling an operation of a reciprocating compressor includes: a control unit for detecting a phase difference between current and stroke and outputting a frequency inflection point detect signal or a frequency variable signal; and a stroke reference value control unit for determining whether a frequency inflection point has been detected or not according to the frequency inflection point detect signal and outputting a stroke reference value control signal based on the determining result.
